  • Reconstituted plant material can generally be formed in a variety of ways.
  • band casting can be utilized to form the reconstituted plant material.
  • Band casting typically employs a slurry of finely divided plant parts mixed with a binder such as gum arabic, guar gum, alginate, xanthan, cellulose and cellulose derivatives (such as carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC)), pectines or starch that is coated onto a steel band and then dried.
  • the method is performed according to a process similar to the conventional tobacco reconstitution process, which is for example described in U.S. Pat. Nos.
